    Which way is the right way?!?!?!?!?!

    In Germany (where they are from) the only correct pronunciations are Teckel or Dacks-hoont as far as I've heard. In North America, the correct way is either Dox-hund or Dax-hund.

    Dash-hound is commonly used aswell and very popular, but not at all correct.

    I pronounce it as Dox-hund.

    I pronounce it "Dox-in" and sometimes "dox-sin". Most of the time I just call it a doxie or wiener dog! XD

    Same here.... That's how I've been pronouncing them since I was about 8 years old*lol* Quite a few years ago there was a televised world dog show (from Mexico I believe), and the Dachshund had it's own separate group which included a "Toy" variety.

    At first I would pronounce it "Dash-und", but on dog shows I've heard it pronounced "Dack-sund"/"Dack-shund".
